From the manual: "This function will escape special characters in the unescaped_string, taking into account the current character set of the connection so that it is safe to place it in a mysql_query(). " an example from the manual: $query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='%s' AND password='%s'", mysql_real_escape_string($user), mysql_real_escape_string($password)); mysql_query($query); I hope this is enough :) ---- ramil http://ramil.sagum.net
